The Pretty Military Wife

Fortunately, there were oxen to pull the plowshare, otherwise, people would not be able to dig so deep, and they could not turn it over completely.

Xiao Shun followed Uncle Liu's instructions and led the ox slowly in front. Uncle Liu was behind him, controlling the plow handle all the way. He didn't use a rope to indicate, but he plowed the ox in a straight line.

When they reached the end of the plow, Xiao Shun led the cow to turn a corner. Uncle Liu roared, pulled out the plowshare that was deeply stuck in the mud, and then inserted it into the ground again.

Then we started plowing the second row.

When plowing the second row, Uncle Liu dumped the plowed mud toward the first row, thus filling up the space left empty when plowing the first row.

It looks like layers of mud waves.

Liang Xinyue and the others threw the grass roots they had cleared away outside the field.

Because there were too many grass roots, several of them tried to clean them up at the same time, but they still couldn't keep up with Uncle Liu's pace.

If they encountered the roots of shrubs, the women had no idea what to do. Uncle Liu would plow what he could, but if he couldn't, he would just leave it there. In the end, he would have to dig to clear it.

The roots are deep and difficult to clean.

But anyone who has farmed knows that this is something that must be done, especially if the land has never been used to grow rice. If you want to clear it and turn it into a paddy field, you have to clean it up.

But the valley was still quite large, and as it was getting dark, Tian Mingfang went to the side and cut some grass to feed the cows.

"Uncle, why don't you stay in our yard for one night? We have to plow the field tomorrow."

Look, only less than one-third of the field has been plowed so far. I'm afraid it will take more than a day.

Uncle Liu shook his head and said:

"I'll rest for a while and plow for a while. Then I'll leave the cows to you. I have to go back. If I don't go back, my family won't know."

Liang Xinyue thought for a moment and said:

"That's fine. Xiao Shun will go out with Uncle Liu and then drive the car back."

Liang Xinyue could also see that Uncle Liu was also very tired:

"Well, you plow first, and I'll go cook. After dinner, you can leave. Then tomorrow, if you find someone else in your family who can plow the fields, ask them to come and take turns with you. If you plow alone, we can't help you. It's too tiring."

Xiao Shun also said:

"Tell your son to come tomorrow."

Liang Xinyue patted the mud off her body and said:

"Don't worry, uncle. It's too tiring for you to do this job alone. If you add another person, I'll give you a higher salary. Come and have dinner here tomorrow. Tell Xiao Shun how to take care of the cows. We'll take good care of them."

Uncle Liu didn't seem to believe Liang Xinyue's words about paying two wages. He turned to look at Xiao Shun. In his opinion, when it came to work, he still trusted men.

Xiao Shun laughed and said:

"Master, this sister Liang is our captain. We all listen to her. Don't worry, her husband is the head of our army. His words must count. We soldiers never deceive the people."

"Ah? Ah, yeah, yeah, fine. That's good. I'll have my son come with me tomorrow."

Liang Xinyue called to Long Xiaomei:

"Little sister, why don't you come back with me and help me cook. Wait until I'm done eating before you leave."

Long Xiaomei had never done so much work before. During the past two days, she just worked hard and tried her best to do it.

Liang Xinyue still felt sorry for the little girl. When she was in a bad mood, she would vent by doing housework.

Long Xiaomei followed Liang Xinyue back.

Liang Xinyue always had some vegetables ready at home. When she and Long Xiaomei came back, they would pick the green beans they brought back from the fields and take out some meat from the small refrigerator they had made.

Xiao Jiajia was playing with Xiao Zhengyu (Xiao Xiaoer). When she saw Liang Xinyue, she came towards her in a crooked manner.

Liang Xinyue had no choice but to coax her first and then let her go play with the second brother.

The two boys had just woken up, but Liang Xinyue didn't go to that room. It would be fine as long as she wasn't seen by them. If they saw her, they would pester their mother.

Liang Xinyue quickly prepared four dishes. Long Xiaomei followed Liang Xinyue silently, and was very good at reading her expressions and acting accordingly.

He helped pick vegetables, burn firewood, and steam rice. Although he didn't say a word, he was very efficient.

"Little sister, go to the field and call them to come back for dinner."

Long Xiaomei paused for a moment. When she was asked to call for help loudly, she actually didn't do it.

But she turned and walked out anyway.

Now only Xiao Shun and Uncle Liu were in the field. They led the cows back.

Uncle Liu didn't dare to enter the yard, and when he came over, he happened to meet Zhou Guoliang and Gu Sanding, who were also in military uniforms.

"Uncle Liu, don't be afraid, this is our leader."

Uncle Liu shrank back and shouted:

"Sir."

Zhou Guoliang smiled and reached out to take some things from Xiao Shun's hand.

"Uncle, you can call me Xiao Zhou or the regiment commander, but we are not allowed to call me sir. I am just a soldier, not an official. We are a family, the military and the people."

Uncle Liu smiled naively:

"Captain Zhou."

Xiao Shun also said:

"Lao Zhou, Lao Gu, this Uncle Liu is the man I invited back to help us plow the fields today."

Xiao Shun briefly told Zhou Guoliang what happened today.

"Then hurry home and have dinner. After dinner, ask Xiao Wei to drive you out. It's getting dark and the road is not easy to travel. You can drive to pick up Uncle Liu and his son early tomorrow morning."

"No...no...no need, I can walk."

When he heard that he was going to be taken there by car, Uncle Liu panicked.

Isn’t this too troublesome?

Xiao Shun led the cow back to his own yard. Liang Xinyue naturally saw them coming back and shouted:

"Xiao Shun, tie up the cow, and come over to eat too."

"it is good."

Liang Xinyue also asked Long Xiaomei to stay to help serve dishes. Zhou Guoliang and Xiao Shun accompanied Grandpa Liu to eat. There was some wine at home, and after pouring it, they only gave some to Grandpa Liu:

"I can't drink. This is the military rule. Xiao Shun will go drive the car back later, so he can't drink either. Don't be polite, sir. Have a drink. After a hard day's work, you'll feel better after a little wine."

Zhou Guoliang poured it himself and handed it to Uncle Liu.

Uncle Liu stood up in panic to take it, but Zhou Guoliang gently pushed him down again:

"Uncle, just sit down. It's the same in our house as it is in yours. Don't be polite. Come and have some food. You've worked hard today."

Under the care of Xiao Shun and Zhou Guoliang, Uncle Liu was a little restrained but still very satisfied with the meal.

After dinner, Xiao Wei, who had just received the news, drove over with Uncle Liu and Xiao Shun.

The cow was handed over to Xiao Shun to feed it again when he came back in the evening.

The next morning, Xiao Shun drove to pick someone up again, but he didn't expect that when he was halfway there, he ran into Uncle Liu and his son who were walking in.
